We love going to this little privately-owned zoo! It is a low-key zoo, but we always love learning about the animals. We were excited to share the day with a good family friend, Anna!
When we got to the zoo, we were introduced to this little oinker. He is a miniature pot-belly pig, and just born that morning. Cute, cute, cute. There are 9 baby pigs, all for sale -- only $50 each. If you have ever wanted a pot-belly pig this is your chance! The girls begged, but I turned them down. As cute as they are, we will not have a pig living in our house!
 |
| We were early enough to feed this orphaned baby goat. He guzzled the bottle in no time! |
 |
| This deer wrestled with the hay bale and ended up with a "trophy" on his rack! |
 |
| More piglets! You really can't tell how small they are from this photo. Trust me -- they were small! |
 |
| Wolves. They sounded just like dogs barking. I learned that they respond to the sounds of a two-year old having a tantrum. |
 |
| Emily held the lion cub. He is so cute and is still bottle-fed. He is spotted, and his mane will not be fully grown in until he reaches 5 years of age. He is playful and so much fun to watch. |
 |
| I have nothing good to say about this emu. |
 |
| Eli is still talking about how the tiger got in the mud. Large cats often lay in the mud to cool themselves. |
 |
| Eli asked me to take a photo of this owl. |
 |
| And, the mountain lion. If you see one of these guys in your neighborhood, be VERY afraid. |
 |
| We loved this draft horse. He loved us because we fed him lots of grass that was beyond his reach! |
